Abstract The dependence of manganese-ion intracenter-luminescence intensity on optical excitation level has been studied in the Cd1−x MnxTe dilute magnetic semiconductor with 0.4〈x〈0.7. It is shown that the intracenter luminescence saturates due to effective nonlinear quenching already at low excitation levels. Mechanisms are proposed which can provide nonlinear quenching and offer a qualitative explanation for the temperature dependence of the luminescence saturation in samples with different manganese concentrations.
